This morning's editorial in the Cincinnati Enquirer caught my eye. The Enquirer is a reliable Republican newspaper. About the only Democrat they have ever endorsed was Sherrod Brown, but he was running against a candidate whose only attribute was the R beside his name and the PAC money in his pocket. They endorsed John McCain without mentioning who his running mate was. This is also in John Boehner's backyard.
Today, they had a comprehensive editorial in support of Obamacare. The highlights are below.
"Obamacare is the law of the land.
Myths, misunderstandings and outright deceptions still abound about the health care law.
Congress should stop trying to block this law that it passed, and instead allow it to work and get on board with educating the public about it. Because the goals it sets out to achieve are worthy. Namely:
• More people will be covered by health insurance, giving those who are uninsured now better, affordable access to regular health care. That should keep them healthier and reduce the overall costs of care.
• Insurance companies will no longer be able to deny coverage to those who are already suffer from illness or disease.
• Preventive health care will be more widely available.
• The law is not a government takeover of health care.
• The Affordable Care Act is not a “job killer.”
• You will not need to change plans, doctors or hospitals."
There is more detail to support each point and the editorial includes a flow chart to illustrate the options.
Is anyone else seeing similar editorials in your local paper?
